What's going on everybody and welcome back for another episode of Trigger. This is Trigger. It's number 460 here on Tuesday, May 23rd.

0:08.6

Let's get things started. The news breaking this afternoon that Ron DeSantis will officially declare his candidacy for the presidency of the United States tomorrow.

0:18.0

Very interesting that it's going to be tomorrow evening, and he's going to be

0:21.7

announcing it in a Twitter space with Elon Musk. And Elon's going to be apparently doing a

0:28.8

nonscripted interview with him. And that'll be at 6 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow. It's really going to be

0:34.2

the first of its kind that's done this way. Yeah. Of course, you know, things are going to heat up and we'll be here to cover it all.

0:40.6

Already, the Trump camp is saying that it's a super out of touch way to be announcing for president.

0:49.2

And I'm like, you mean the fact that he's going to get millions of people to watch this live?

0:55.2

Yeah, exactly. More people are going to watch this on twitter because it's going to be running off of elon's account

1:00.0

and it's going to be displayed to everybody on twitter then what if it was on tv yeah like well he's

1:04.4

not announcing it to a crowd of people and i'm like well someone sounds out of touch but it's not it's not... Of course, it's a gamble here, right? Like, this hasn't been done before, but... I think it'll be great. I like it. I like the idea. It's something new. It sounds like Elon Musk is going to be doing an endorsement. I'm not sure of that 100%, but... I mean, the fact that he's hosting him, you know, it sounds like...

1:27.9

I mean, that's a massive income contribution anyway. Well, and he's also made it known before that DeSantis is the guy he wants to be president. Yeah. So, you know, I don't see a problem with it. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I'm sure that the TV networks are still going to try to carry it live in some fashion.

1:49.4

It's certainly going to make a bigger splash than Tim Scott announcing to a room of 100 people yesterday. Like if that's what we're going for here, then... So that's going to be very interesting.

1:55.6

Of course, the Democrats are treating him as the real threat because, of course, they want Trump to be the nominee.

2:03.2

Now, we can argue about the merits of any of that, and we're going to have plenty of time to talk about 24, so I don't really want to dive into it too much today.

2:10.8

But I truly believe, and it's my opinion, that, you know, I still love Trump.

2:19.3

I think he's awesome.

2:20.9

But to think that he serves us a better chance in the general election is just crazy.

2:27.8

Yeah, it's not.

2:28.5

Yeah.

2:29.0

I mean, people say, well, Desantis, you know, is a globalist.
